AGA Clinical Practice Update on Management of Subepithelial Lesions Encountered During Routine Endoscopy: Expert Review.

Methods This expert review was commissioned and approved by the AGA Institute Clinical Practice Updates Committee (CPUC) and the AGA Governing Board to provide timely guidance on a topic of high clinical importance to the AGA membership, and underwent internal peer review by the CPUC and external peer review through standard procedures of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Since this was not a systematic review, we did not carry out any formal rating of the quality of evidence or strength of the presented considerations.

AGA Clinical Practice Update: Diagnosis and Management of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Lean Individuals: Expert Review.

BEST PRACTICE ADVICE 14: The therapeutic role of glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in the management of lean NAFLD is not fully defined and requires further investigation. BEST PRACTICE ADVICE 15: Hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance with abdominal ultrasound with or without serum a-fetoprotein twice per year is suggested in patients with lean NAFLD and clinical markers compatible with liver cirrhosis.

Comparative Burden of Metabolic Dysfunction in Lean NAFLD vs. Non-Lean NAFLD - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The current analysis highlights the weight-dependent nature of metabolic dysfunction in NAFLD. Lean subjects with NAFLD were significantly less metabolically unhealthy than were obese and overweight persons with NAFLD. An overreliance on metabolic dysfunction in defining fatty liver will be a flaw in potentially excluding previously characterized NAFLD.

Comorbid chronic diseases and survival in compensated and decompensated cirrhosis: a population-based study.

In patients with cirrhosis, a focus on comorbid chronic disease(s) as potential management targets may help avoid premature mortality regardless of etiology. Multidisciplinary care early in the clinical course of cirrhosis is needed in addition to the current focus on management of complications of portal hypertension.

Comorbidity influences the comparative safety of biologic therapy in older adults with inflammatory bowel diseases.

Among adults =60 years with IBD initiating biologic therapy, both vedolizumab and ustekinumab were associated with lower rates of infection-related hospitalizations than anti-TNF therapy for those with high comorbidity burden.

Early Liver Transplantation for Severe Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis and a History of Prior Liver Decompensation.

Prior liver decompensation was associated with higher risk of post-LT mortality and harmful alcohol use. These results are a preliminary safety signal and validate first decompensation as a criterion for consideration in early LT for AH patients. However, the high 3-year survival suggests a survival benefit for early LT and the need for larger studies to refine this criterion. These results suggest that prior liver decompensation is a risk factor, but not an absolute contraindication to early LT.

High accuracy in classifying endoscopic severity in ulcerative colitis using convolutional neural network.

We have developed a highly accurate new, automated way of evaluating endoscopic images from UC patients. We have demonstrated how our DL model is capable of distinguishing between al four MES levels of activity. This new automated approach may optimize and standardize the evaluation of disease severity measured by the MES across centres no matter the level of medical expertise.

REDUCTION IN NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS IN PATIENTS with CIRRHOSIS DURING THE COVID-19 ERA COMPARED TO PRE-COVID-19: IMPACT OF MASKING AND RESTRICTING VISITATION?

We found that despite a higher admission MELD-Na, qSOFA and WBC count, and requiring a longer ICU stay, COVID-era patients developed lower NIs (3% vs 10%, p<0.001) and had higher liver transplant rates versus pre-COVID patients. COVID-era restrictions could reduce NI in critically ill patients with cirrhosis.

SMAD4 suppresses colitis-associated carcinoma through inhibition of CCL20/CCR6-mediated inflammation.

Regulation of mucosal inflammation is central to SMAD4 tumor suppressor function in the colon. A key downstream node in this regulation is suppression of epithelial CCL20 signaling to CCR6 in immune cells. Loss of SMAD4 in the colon epithelium increases CCL20 expression and chemoattraction of CCR6+ immune cells, contributing to greater susceptibility to colon cancer.

Hepatocyte-derived MASP1-enriched small extracellular vesicles activate hepatic stellate cells to promote liver fibrosis.

ARRB1 upregulates the release of hepatocyte-derived MASP1-enriched small EVs by regulating the autophagic-lysosomal/multivesicular body pathway and Rab27A. Hepatocyte-derived MASP1 activates HSCs to promote liver fibrogenesis through p38 MAPK/ATF2 signaling. Thus, MASP1 is a novel and pivotal therapeutic target in liver fibrosis.

Hepatocyte ß-Catenin Loss is Compensated by Insulin-mTORC1 Activation to Promote Liver Regeneration.

Insulin-mTORC1 activation compensates for ß-catenin loss to enable LR after PH. mTORC1 signaling in hepatocytes itself is critical to both homeostasis and LR and is only partially compensated by ß-catenin activation. Dual inhibition of ß-catenin and mTOR may have notable untoward hepatotoxic side effects.
